The Jungle Book as an allegory for political society & the conflicts between man & nature

Recommended Posts

I'm very happy to leave the thread where this what being discussed but would like to continue the topic in its own thread.

 

Mowgli represents humanity that wants to live in a society that's not only in harmony with nature, but which is also not interested in colonialism and fighting wars based on lies and deceptions.

 

If anyone would like to continue exploring the topic, please do so here, thanks.

The denouement, for The Jungle Book, is really a metaphor for the final battle between good and evil, sometimes referred to as Armageddon.

bit slanderous towards tigers though.....they are just out there living in their habitat doing what they do and helping to keep the biosphere in balance

 

lets face it mowgli was a walking disaster area and what thanks did he have for the wolves who took him in and gave him free food and accommodation and safety?

It's not slanderous to tigers because it's just a metaphor.

if someone portrayed you as the symbol of evil and then said 'but don't worry it's just a metaphor' wouldn't you be a little upset?

 

You don't approve of George Orwell's "Animal Farm" allegory, then?

 

If you have nothing against "Animal Farm", I don't think you're logic, complaining about a tiger being used as a metaphor, would be consistent!

You're completely missing the point though. Tigers may be nice to look at but they're much worse than pigs... they'll tear you to pieces and kill you, and that's what the cabal will do to anyone who gets in their way.

Disney and Spielberg . Go figure

 

I thought you had a more interesting reason, but never mind. This thread isn't so much about personal dislikes, it's more about discussing occult themes and meanings.

I have a personal dislike against them both. I don't need to go into the occult between Disney and Spielberg..even Google has the dots.

I was hoping you'd have interesting insights to share. No problem!
